And another one:
So another story from Drudge which attempts to refute the increasingly probable reality that the explosives were looted post-U.S. military, a story which is coming from the Wasington Times quoting a single Pentagon official, claiming RUSSIA took the explosives .... is not compelling.

Vials do not weigh 100 pounds each. They found "thousands", so say they found 10 thousand. We're talking about 380 tons of explosives, which is near 800,000 pounds. If there were 10,000 vials, then each one would have to weigh around 80 pounds each to consist of the explosives that the IAEA are talking about. It has been reported that the containers containing explosives had been sealed with designated stickers, and none of those stickers had been found at any time that coalition troops searched the area.
I'm not very confident in the validity of the Russia story either, especially since no one in the national media (including Fox News) has taken to it. It's more important to wait and see right now, rather than blame the Bush administration for "losing" the weapons. I've got a feeling that in time, we'll realize that the weapons were gone already. Just think about it--we're watching them through the air and by satelllite, driving around nearby, and nobody notices 380 tons of material being moved? It just doesn't fit to me.
